The Centerville Police Department says they are aware that a scammer is calling neighbors and posing as an officer, according to a social media post.
They say the caller ID is being spoofed to make it appear the call is coming from the department’s phone number of 937-433-7661.
“The caller, who has a foreign accent, identifies himself as Sgt. Wilson,” the department wrote on its Facebook page.
They add that the caller wants personal information, specifically a social security number.
